Abstract

Palmprint recognition, as a reliable personal identity check method, has been receiving increasing attention during recent years. According to previous work, local texture analysis supplies the most promising framework for palmprint image representation. In this paper, we propose a novel palmprint recognition method by combining statistical texture descriptions of local image regions and their spatial relations. In our method, for each image block, a spatial enhanced histogram of gradient directions is used to represent discriminative texture features. Furthermore, we measure similarity between two palmprint images using a simple graph matching scheme, making use of structural information. Experimental results on two large palmprint databases demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
